The Feast of Christmas
It is not easy to pin-point the origins of the Christmas feast, today the more important feast of the Christmas season in most western Christian churches. One can only say for certain that the birth of Jesus Christ was being celebrated in Rome by the year 336 A.D.; afterwards the feast was celebrated in other Christian churches throughout the world.
Why it was celebrated on December 25th is another question. No date for the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament, which is concerned more with the question "Who is Jesus?" than the date of his birth. Early Christian speculation about his birth date was influenced by the symbolism of the changing seasons, then popular in religious thought, which paid careful attention to the equinoxes and solstices of the sun. Christian scholars speculated that Jesus was conceived at the spring equinox (March 25th) and therefore was born on December 25th, the date of the winter solstice.
In many of the Christian churches, March 25th is still the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus.
Possible impluse for the feast of Christmas may have came too from the establishment of the pagan feast of the "Unconquered Sun-God" by the Emperor Aurelian in 274 A.D. to be celebrated on December 25, the day of the winter solstice in Rome and throughout the empire. In response, Christians could celebrate the feast of the "Sun of righteousness" (Malachi 4,2), Jesus Christ, who called himself " the light of the world."
Christmas in United States of America Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860's he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly, so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas, Sintaklaas. Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century, he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809. This first Santa Claus was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to children every year.In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit, pipe, and his reindeer and sleigh.Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States, because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.In Pennsylvania, the Moravians build a landscape, called a putz - under the Christmas tree, while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle, who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States. Many settled in the early days in the South, these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks. In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies, Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.In Alaska, a star on a pole is taken from door to door, followed by Herod's Men, who try to capture the star. Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple, a symbol of hospitality.In Alaska, boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door. They sing carols and are invited in for supper.In Washington D.C., a huge, spectacular tree is lit ceremoniously when the President presses a button and turns on the tree's lights.In Boston, carol singing festivities are famous. The singers are accompanied by hand bells.In New Orleans, a huge ox is paraded around the streets decorated with holly and with ribbons tied to its horns.In Arizona, the Mexican ritual called Las Posadas is kept up. This is a ritual procession and play representing the search of Mary and Joseph for a room at the inn. Families play the parts and visit each other's houses enacting and re-enacting the drama and, at the same time, having a look at each family's crib.In Hawaii, Christmas starts with the coming of the Christmas Tree Ship, which is a ship bringing a great load of Christmas fare. Santa Claus also arrives by boat.In California, Santa Claus sweeps in on a surf board.In America the traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and sauces. For dessert it is rich, fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Mince pies, pastry cases filled with a mixture of chopped dried fruit.The majority of Americans celebrate Christmas with the exchange of gifts and greetings and with family visits. For many, the day begins on Christmas Eve with the Midnight Mass. At Christmas it snows in many states, so dinner is usually eaten indoors. Dinner usually is roast turkey, goose, duck or ham served with cranberry sauce, then plum pudding or pumpkin pie followed by nuts and fruit.American homes are decorated with holly, mistletoe and branches of trees, most have a Christmas tree hung with electric lights, tinsel, baubles, and strings of popcorn and candy canes. In Colorado, an enormous star is placed on the mountain, it can be seen for many kilometers around, while in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a star is lit in early December.Polish Americans on Christmas Eve spread hay on their kitchen floor and under the tablecloth to remind them of a stable and a manger. When they make up the table for dinner two extra places are set up for Mary and the Christ Child in case they should knock at the door to ask for shelter.In Philadelphia, a procession called a mummers parade runs for a whole day with bands, dancers and people in fancy dress.There are two homes for Santa Claus in the United States one is in Torrington, Connecticut, where Santa and his helpers give out presents. The other home is in Wilmington, New York, where a village for Santa and his reindeer is located.In Arizona they follow the Mexican traditions called Las Posadas. Families play out the parts of Mary and Joseph searching for somewhere to stay. They form a procession and visit their friends' and neighbors' homes where they admire each family's Nativity crib. In parts of New Mexico, people place lighted candles in paper bags filled with sand on streets and rooftops to light 。

圣诞节在12月25日,它对男孩女孩们来说是快乐的一天。在一些学校学期结束前,孩子们会扮演些戏剧,耶稣怎样降生的。
在12月24日,所有的孩子都非常兴奋。通常他们会很早的就去睡了这样他们的父母就可以准备礼物。一些小孩认为圣诞老人会从烟囱或火炉中来,因此他们会悬挂袜子让(圣诞老人)放礼物。一些贪心的会挂枕垫或大袋,来拿更多的礼物。晚些,父亲或母亲会把礼物放进袜子里,并放在床边。
在圣诞节的早上,孩子们很早就起床了。有些尽然在2点就打开灯,大多数都会在6点醒来虽然这时在英国还没天亮。孩子们打开礼物,一些小孩在准备早餐时就开始玩着玩具。在下午1点,圣诞餐就会被准备好。火鸡或鸡肉很快被吃完。孩子们在圣诞布丁中搜寻被藏着的硬币。剩下来的时间就是在游戏还有吃中度过的,直到圣诞假期结束。
每年的12月25日,是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子,称为圣诞节(Christmas)。
从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间,各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。
圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日,由于人们格外重视,它便成为一个全民性的节日,是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日,可以和新年相提并论,类似我国过春节。 西方人以红(red)、绿(green)、白(white)三色为圣诞色,圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。
红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树(Christmas Tree)。
它是圣诞节的主要装饰品,用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。 上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花,还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。
红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人(Santa Claus),他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前,要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子,等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。
在西方,扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。 据《圣经》记载,来自东方的圣人在耶酥降生的时候赠送礼物,这就是圣诞老人为儿童赠送礼品习俗的由来。
英国少年儿童在圣诞前夕把长统袜子放在壁炉旁,相信圣诞老人在夜里回从大烟囱下来,给他们带来满袜子的礼物。法国的少年儿童把鞋放在门外,让“圣婴”来时把礼物放在鞋里面。
最早以前是一对红色的大袜子,多大都可以,因为圣诞袜是要用来装礼物的,小朋友最喜欢的东西,晚上他们会将自己的袜子挂在床边,等待第二天早上的收礼。要是有人圣诞节送小汽车那怎么办?那最好就叫他写张支票放进袜子里好了。
圣诞老人原指公元4世纪时小亚细亚专区的主教尼古拉,他因和蔼可亲慷慨济贫万里闻名。 到了6世纪,东方把他尊称为圣尼古拉。
由于民间有关尼古拉的传说中,都联系到少年儿童和礼物,从此,圣诞老人便成为专门在圣诞节向孩子们送礼物的慈祥老人的形象。到了18世纪,通过文学和绘画,圣诞老人逐渐成为身穿红外衣的白胡子、白眉毛老人形象。
圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。 教会组织一些圣诗班(或由信徒自发地组成)挨门挨户地在门口或窗下唱圣诞颂歌,叫作“报佳音”,意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。
“报佳音”的人称为ChristmasWaits,这项活动往往要进行到天亮,人数越来越多,歌声越来越大,大街小巷满城尽是歌声。 圣诞节作为一个隆重庆祝节日,不能少了好吃美味食品。
圣诞节火鸡大餐就是例牌主菜了,以前的人们或许会用微波炉自己做,现在的人们过节好多就是在外面餐馆里用餐了,商家们也会利用机会赚顾客们的钱,当然还有许多圣诞节食品,姜饼、糖果等等了。 那是一顶红色帽子,据说晚上戴上睡觉除了睡得安稳和有点暖外,第二天你还会发现在帽子里多了点心爱的人送的礼物。
在狂欢夜它更是全场的主角,无论你去到那个角落,都会看到各式各样的红帽子,有的还有帽尖发亮的,有的是金光闪闪的。 长期以来,一直流行的圣诞歌主要有三个,一个是《平安夜》;一个是《听,天使报佳音》;第三个是《铃铛儿响叮当》。
据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩,让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐,这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说:“年年此日,礼物满枝,留此美丽的杉村,报答你的好意。 ”小孩走后,农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树,他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。
这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。在西方,不论是否基督徒,过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树,以增加节日的欢乐气氛。
圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成,象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星,挂上各种圣诞礼物。
圣诞之夜,人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞,尽情欢乐。 Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!· Beautiful dream comes true· Bring you Good wishes of happiness。

Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. It is traditionally celebrated on December 25 by most Western Christian churches. Although dating to probably as early as a.d. 200, the feast of Christmas did not become widespread until the Middle Ages. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. The word Christmas is derived from Middle English Christemasse. It is a contraction meaning "Christ's mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter X, an abbreviation for Christ.
